When a fledgling startup begins, it moves forward through dreams, innovations, and feasibility studies. However, many startups become victims of attrition within a few years of starting and begin to dwindle.
The main reasons for a startup's failure include lack of liquidity, bureaucracy, and not conducting proper scrutiny of the business. Many entrepreneurs create the fallacy that success will come just by having a good idea. But due to exorbitant costs, market volatility, and ambiguity in planning, they fall behind.
However, some startups survive and become large conglomerates. They use bootstrapping, remove business detriments, and are able to monopolize through innovation. However, if any startup does not take proper planning, it will get stuck in stagnation and will not be able to achieve perpetuity.
